From AudioFile:

Two sharp executives offer a well-organized primer on leadership development. Based on content that can be found at www.Coaching.com, the program tells you how to assess yourself, understand how others perceive you, identify your basic needs, and uncover self-imposed limitations. The tone of the writing and narration is perfect for the material. Without hype or silliness, it explains the program and leaves the rest up to the listener. More than behavioral coaches, the authors promote insight into human nature and show how to look for support, clarify inner standards, and develop persistence. They offer un-expected concepts and tools for change that become obvious once you consider them. T.W. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
